Rain, rain, GO AWAY!!!! Posted: 03-19-08 14:51pm
It has been raining in my area for nearly
40 hours. It has finally almost stopped.
The town I work in is mostly underwater,
thankfully where I live wasn't affected
nearly as much. Below is a link to some
pictures of what we are dealing with. The
town was originally built inside of
floodgates and had pumps to get rid of
water in cases like these. But, with the
every growing economy the floodgates have
been removed from around the town to
expand 2 lane highways into 4 lanes.
Today the pump system stopped working, so
they are unsure about how they are going
to get the rest of the water out of the
town. Our office closed 2 hours early
yesterday, but we had to come to work
today even though it was STILL raining
this morning. What a bad judgement call.
